SPARK: Input-Conditioned Sparse Activation Modulation for Frozen DiT-based Super-Resolution

The paper introduces SPARK, a lightweight input‑conditioned controller that modulates only a few dominant channels in frozen Diffusion Transformer (DiT) based super‑resolution models. By predicting bounded per‑channel affine transformations for selected channels, SPARK improves reconstruction fidelity and perceptual quality without fine‑tuning the backbone or adding adapters. Experiments on three DiT‑based SR backbones across DIV2K, RealSR, and DRealSR demonstrate consistent gains while modulating only eight channels per stream and block.

Higher Resolution, Better Generalization: Unlocking Visual Scaling in Deep Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2605. 10546v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Pixel-based deep reinforcement learning agents are typically trained on heavily downsampled visual observations, a convention inherited from early benchmarks rather than grounded in principled design.

Adaptive Densification for High-Fidelity and Efficient Sparse Gaussian Splatting in Arbitrary-Scale Super-Resolution

The paper introduces QuADA-GS, a method for Arbitrary-Scale Super-Resolution that dynamically densifies 2D Gaussian splatting based on low‑resolution input. By allocating Gaussians adaptively to structurally complex regions and employing a sparse communication mechanism, it balances high visual fidelity with lower computational cost. Experiments show that this approach achieves a competitive trade‑off between quality and efficiency for super‑resolution tasks.

Fortifying Fully Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks for Image Super-Resolution Using Divergence Measures

arXiv:2404. 06294v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Super-Resolution (SR) is a time-hallowed image processing problem that aims to improve the quality of a Low-Resolution (LR) sample up to the standard of its High-Resolution (HR) counterpart.
